Climate adaptation legal issues to get further exploration

Building on the foundations and questions generated by a previous workshop, “Legal Issues in the Age of Climate Adaptation II: Climate Adaptation Academy” will present four fact sheets addressing many of the issues raised. The Dec. 15 workshop is a follow-up to the “Legal Issues in the Age of Climate Adaptation” offered in November 2015. In the new workshop, the afternoon session will delve into two major climate adaptation issues with numerous legal ramifications: elevating structures and resilience of roadways.

The event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Mercy by the Sea Retreat and Conference Center, 167 Great Neck Road, Madison, CT.
